Overview

VW Publix 1444 in DeLand operates a vended water facility and has had 6 inspections on record between March 2023 and November 2025, with a combined 11 violations and no stop-sale orders. The facility's most significant inspection occurred on January 29, 2025, when three high-priority violations were cited during a sanitation inspection. An internal temperature of 42.8 degrees F was recorded for salmon roll and crunchy shrimp tempura roll in the self-service sushi case at 1:20 PM, approximately 2 hours after the rolls were placed for retail sale at 11:00 AM; the rolls were relocated to the freezer for rapid cooling during the inspection. The same inspection documented that an employee donned gloves before washing hands while handling ready-to-eat sushi rolls and touched a computer tablet before washing hands to handle ready-to-eat sushi rolls; the employee washed hands before applying new gloves during the inspection. Additionally, the employee began washing hands in the warewashing sink rather than the designated handwash sink; this was corrected during the inspection. Three intermediate-priority violations were also cited, including missing documentation on the daily pH log (missing tester's initials and person-in-charge signature) and missing signatures on HACCP verification worksheets for July through October 2024. A June 2024 inspection found no paper towels at the produce department handwash sink; paper towels were provided during the inspection. Recent focused inspections on August 8, 2025 and November 4, 2025 resulted in zero violations, with lab results provided at both visits.
